Private car · Akihabara & pop culture

Akihabara and Tokyo pop culture by private car, at your own pace.

Anime, games and everything kawaii, without dragging bags across the city. Your driver collects you at your hotel and links Akihabara, the electric town of anime and games, the Pokemon Center, and the street-karting course where you drive Tokyo in a Mario Kart style go-kart. The car waits at each stop, your finds ride safely in the boot, and you set the pace. By the hour or as a half day, with a driver who speaks your language. From ¥120,000 for a full day.

What's included

  • Door to door from your hotel: your private driver collects you and waits at each stop; no trains, no taxis in between.
  • Akihabara, at your pace: the electric town of anime, manga, games and gadgets, explored on foot as long as you like.
  • Fan stops built in: the Pokemon Center, hobby stores and the pop-culture floors of Don Quijote, all linked by the car.
  • Your finds ride with you: figures, games and hauls go straight in the boot; nothing to carry between stops.
  • A driver who speaks your language: Italian, French, Spanish, English or Japanese, confirmed at booking, in writing.

Akihabara, the electric town

Akihabara is the home of Japanese pop culture: floors of anime and manga, retro and current games, figures, gachapon and gadgets, with themed cafes tucked between them. With a private car you arrive right at it, dive in on foot for as long as you like, and drop your finds in the car before the next stop. Your driver knows the quieter times and where to wait.

Pokemon, karting and more

Round out the day the way your group loves it: the Pokemon Center for fans of every age, the hobby and figure stores, and the street-karting course where you drive through Tokyo in a Mario Kart style go-kart, an unforgettable photo. Tell us the interests in your group and your driver builds the loop around them, activities that need their own booking arranged in advance.
